Too Many People Suffer in Silence
More than half of American adults over age 30 have some form of gum disease, and many never seek treatment. But a light case of gum disease can become serious and require expert periodontal care if it’s not treated.
Gingivitis
Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) characterized by inflammation of the gums, and it’s typically caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth.
It’s marked by symptoms such as redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, particularly during brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care, but if left untreated, it can progress to more severe periodontal conditions.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that results from the progression of untreated gingivitis. It’s characterized by inflammation and infection in the tissues supporting the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Over time, periodontitis can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that become infected—leading to bone and tissue destruction.
Symptoms include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, and, in severe cases, tooth loss. Effective treatment involves deep cleaning procedures, improved oral hygiene, and sometimes surgical interventions to restore oral health.
Advanced Periodontitis
Advanced periodontitis is the most severe stage of periodontal disease, where the supporting structures of the teeth—such as the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone—are extensively damaged.
This stage is characterized by deep periodontal pockets, significant gum recession, and the loosening or shifting of teeth. Symptoms may include severe pain, persistent bad breath, pus discharge, and difficulty chewing.
Without prompt and comprehensive treatment, advanced periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and may contribute to systemic health issues such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Treatment often involves periodontal surgery, regenerative procedures, or tooth replacement options.
